Re: [REGYCON] FW: [council] IDN mailing list



Hi,

Well, i guess if the chair of the exWG objects, then we probably should not try to use the old list. and should explore the idea of creating a new list on the basis that was discussed. Of course if the council still has issues with the creation of any list for IDN then we should not create a list. We probably need to decide whether there is council support for creating an idn-discuss list. During the last conversation there were some issues brought up and I am not sure whether the discussion so far has addressed those issues.

Chuck, all:

I see no reason to use the old list for a new set of discussions that may be orthogonal or tangential to the original discussions.

The original IDN WG mailing list should have been closed at the closure of the prior working group. To reuse it, and to automatically opt-in its members to a new list with new rules and new charters does not make much sense to me.

The second issue is that I expect the new discussions will be primarily on gTLD IDN matters; the IDN WG list was populated by a large array of folks, only a few from the gTLDs.

The third issue is that when the list is now populated with the new topics, archives will appear as if the group took a 6-month hiatus, and resumed its deliberations on the same topics, which would be misleading (to say the least).

Is it really so hard to setup a new list, solicit participants (even get the vetted emails of members from the current list), and start out? This should not be such a difficult step.

. . .

Thanks,
Ram
